    BASE game

    I don't know if I'm the only one who has this problem, but my download stops all the time. I can't download the whole thing. Maybe it's just my computer, but could someone try to host the file to eliminate server problems. If thats okay with the company..
  2. http://www.performancedesigns.com/docs/linetrims/VE_075-120LT.pdf here you go, I don't know how to make it clicky..
  3. I would say it looks like the right toogle is allready popped in the opening, and that makes the canopy turn left. He then tries to make up for that with a right rear riser input. That turns the canopy, but at the same time puts it into a stall. He never really gets out of that, and that is why he never gets any forward speed. Maybe he should consider having a bit shallower DBS made. Just my opinion..

  5. Yes thank you very much for uploading this video.. Big file, but nice footage in good quality.. VLC player plays it without problems...
  6. Try to ask MB38 to host the file, he often offers to host things from the BASE forum...

    Track Suits

    Don't know the exact word for ripstop nylon in danish, but did a little research on it and found out that even though it's water and wind proof it's at the same time also breathable.. Isn't that a bad thing.. Wouldn't those really old rainjackets were you skin couldn't breath at all be the best material you could use.. It's not easy to find those any more, but I'm sure some low price or second hand store would have them.. Another question I have orderd the PF track pants, but couldn't afford the jacket, so I'm at the moment looking for a jacket made out the most ZP material, I'm gonna but bungeecords or ripcords in it, but should I also make air inlets in the sleeves like on the smoke pants???? By the way sorry about the spelling..
  9. Thanks for posting pics.. That gave me some ideas.. Just no´t shure if I have the seewing skills for making it...
  10. Would it be totally impossible to post a picture of one of your 50 dollar wallmart suits, so us not so creative people have an idea of what you are bying and what you are doing to make it into a track suit.. I would realle appreciate that... Sorry about my english..
  11. Basjkall could you possibly try posting pictures of yours and maybe Esbens set if thats possible. So we can get a change of seeing your modifications.. I think it would be very helpfull to a lot of people.. Including me.-
  12. Thanks.. Thats a pretty impressing collection of information.... Quite allot off reading in this "bad weather" time...
  13. yes please describe it Tom, maybe even with a picture.. sounds very interesting..
  14. But you don't have to run before you theorize about running. In fact, sometimes it can be beneficial to have never ran before so our minds are not yet clouded by the age-old tradition of having to put one foot in front of the other. Definently.... I think it's cool that you come up with these ideas, especially when some of the really experienced people in here, think that some of it actually could work. Beeing a non BASE jumper myself, but very interrestet in BASE I like to read all the stuff in here, and I like to write question and replys to the stuff people says, if I think I have something seriously to say about the subject. And if he like me is very interrestet in BASE gear, and BASE jumping overall, I think its ccol... So keep'em ideas comming.. Simon
  15. i would also say that whit the system you are thinking of there would be some packing issues I gues.. I'm not a BASE jumper, but I have seen some BASE rigs being packed, and the way I see it you make sure that the lines from both the left and right risers are stowed "straight" if you know what i mean, is because you can pull the container up against yourself when stowing the lines in the tailpocket. In your system though as far as I can see you would have to do it the other way around, stowing the lines starting with the risers and therefor the left and the right lines seperate from eachother, you S folds or how you are planning on stowing the lines has to be pretty precise the same lenght to not get a unsymetrical opening... This adds some complications to the packjob as far as I can see, but maybe I'm wrong... Hope you get the point, my english isn't the best.. Simon
  16. yeah, it's a really cool idea.. Ain't a jumper yet, but it would be nice to see where in the world people are writting from..
  17. yes maybe we shouldn't be should be taking it a little more serious.. I can see it from her site, she thinks we know that this guy has a broken leg and still allows him to jump, and that i pissing her off... It's a little sad though that she doesn't try to find out what actually happend.. But there will always be people like her out there...

    First Jump

    Yeahhh.. congrats from me to.. sounds like a nice jump.. Can't find the video either, think you might have to upload it again...
  19. I'm not totally sure on where I saw it, but it's some times since the new site came on the net and remember that there some place on the site are written that you have to contact the company to get information on velcro rigs and the parapack rig...
  20. Hehe okay.. I also had a little trouble connecting the headline to the link in the thread... Nice little video, looks like he has a pretty good body position at the exit.. hehe
  21. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1901953;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;;page=unread#unread This is a post on the first page, and there are also older threads about it... And maybe there will be even more soon... It's a legal basejump in norwya, it's on the 2nd BASE DVD..
  22. It is from 2nd BASE.. about 2minutes into the movie i think.. It doesn't says what happens to him, but it sure looks ugly.. Hope he's okay..
  23. Hehe.. Thats some funny shit.. Doesn't really understand why he ran, it isn't illeagle to have packed or unpacked rigs in your car, but I ques he just got caught up in the moment..
  24. Is it just me that doesn't understand the idea of putting a ZP topskin on a base canopy... I haven't got any BASE jumps, but I have read really much about the sport and the gear, and i understand that there is a bigger chance of gettin an offheading opening. I also have some problems understanding why you want your canopys to fly faster in a sport like BASE.. I may have totally misunderstod something, but i hope you will explain the pros. and cons off having a ZP topskin on a BASE canopy.. Stay Safe
